Apple TV Software Update?
I’ve previously written that aside from the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C releases, on September 10th Apple may show us a completely new Apple TV, stuffed with new amazing features and whatever else. Well, today I must admit I was wrong. According to the latest report, there would be a software update for the existing TV box on Tuesday, but definitely not the new product presentation.
Introducing the iPhone 5S (Parody)
We all know that the new iPhones are just around the corner. What that means is that it is high time someone created a parody on the new devices' welcome video and uploaded it on YouTube. You see, each time Apple releases its new smartphone or tablet, someone shots a clip that makes fun of either gadget itself, or the fans waiting for the release date, or whatever else.
This year is not an exception - below you can see a short iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C introductory video. People, who look almost just like the actual Apple’s engineers and executives (I’m joking, of course), tell us the story about what do the the letters “S” and “C” mean.
I won’t tell you anything more - watch the video yourself.
Backlight panel photos of iPhone 5S
According to Nowhereelse, photos of blacklight panel for the iPhone 5Shas been published.
The panel appeared on TVC-Mall as a "Top quality OEM LCD backlight repair part replacement for iPhone 5S". Looking at thу photos below you will notice that the only difference from the same component of iPhone 5 is the ribbon cable connector.
Apple is likely to present the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C during an media event on September 10th.
Photos of graphite iPhone 5S
A new photo has recently appeared in the Net, featuring the graphite iPhone 5S with the China Compulsory Certificate mark.
The picture below shows the dual LED flash which was not present on the iPhone 5. Once you examine the photo closer, you will distinguish the compulsory safety mark for products sold in the Chinese market.
It means that Apple is very likely to be selling the iPhone 5S on Chinese market quite soon. Cupertino company will probably start with launching the smartphone via China Telecom.
Photos of iPhone 5C logic board
Chinese Site CTechCN has posted the photos of iPhone 5C logic board. The resource has also published the box for iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5S in graphite color.
The comparison photo published by the website features the logic board of iPhone 5C an iPhone 5. The casing of iPhone 5C has three screw holes in it that line up with the logic board. The board does not differ from the one for iPhone 5, thus it may be safe to assume that the iPhone 5C is literally an iPhone 5 with a plastic casing.
We will remind you again that Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on September 10.
China Mobile Will Carry the Lower Cost iPhone 5C?
The Wall Street Journal that Apple will ship its lower cost iPhone 5C to China Mobile. And this seems to be possible since Apple’s CEO Tim Cook visited China in July to have a talk with the carrier’s executives about the partnership.
Leaked Photos Show iPhone 5S Packaging
Photos that allegedly show a new iPhone 5S packaging have been released by a Chinese site called C Technology. Whether these photos are legitimate or not is unclear; anyway, they show a standard white box that was used as a packaging for previous iPhone versions.
iPhone Home button with a fingerprint scanner
The photos of the home button of the iPhone 5S show that it includes some new components. Accordng to Nowhereelse, they are most likely to refer to the rumored fingerprint scanner.
The first notable difference of course for the general shape of the map but not really enough to jump to the ceiling. Even more interesting, a mysterious square element placed closer button instantly revives the rumor. Followed by two other components attached to the extension of the map and that all seemed to be resistance. Needless to say that these three elements are absent from the button back to the home of the iPhone 5 and is to my knowledge unprecedented for this spare parts, all iPhone generations combined.
The part has the identification number 821-2092-01, it seems to have been manufactured on the 29th week of 2013 (mid-July).
However, MacRumors claims that the same part was sold om sw-box as a component of iPhone 5C . So it is not clear what device it belongs to.
Apple will unveil both iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on September 10th.

New iPhone is rumored to have arrived to the U.S.
MacRumors reports that iPhone has already arrived to the U.S. in preparation for its presentation during an event September 10th.
As is not unheard of for the company, Apple is already beginning to stockpile units in the United States for quick distribution to carrier partners, other third-party retail partners, and its own channels. With the new iPhone hardware expected to be introduced at next Tuesday's media event, Apple's past history would suggest that the new models would launch in the U.S. and other first wave countries about a week and a half later, with Friday, September 20 being the most likely date.
iOS Share of Mobile Web Usage Has Fallen 11%
The latest report from NetApplications shows that Apple’s mobile web share has fallen 11% in the last 12 months. The main reason for such fall is probably the mass production of cheap Android smartphones and tablets that become more and more popular in Europe and Asia. Looks like things aren’t so good for the company from Cupertino.
According to survey results released Sunday, iOS' share of Web usage hit an all-time low of 54.9% in August, down 11 percentage points (16.7%) from the 65.9% it held in August 2012. Android, meanwhile, surged to 28.1% from 21% last year, up 7.1 points (34.3%).
Anyway, there’re still some chances for Apple to get out of serious troubles. Yes, I’m now talking about the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C releases as well as about the two new iPads, which are expected to be unveiled this fall.
